We would like to search a PDF document for specific text and returns its position. We generate PDF reports using Telerik Reporting which contain placeholders that are replaced with images and text at run-time. It appears the logic has already been implemented, but the implementing classes (e.g., TextSearch, TextRecognizer) aren't accessible. Please consider making this capability available.

These permissions are defined on a document level and apply permission handlers. The permission handlers are similar to the security handlers but do not require the document to be encrypted. They are also used to determine which objects are to be included in the digest calculation used for the digital signature functionality.

I was working on some acroforms and wherever I needed a space I kept on getting a different letter (Ê). On debugging the problem seems to be in the TryGetCharCode function of OpenTypeFontSource

Version: 2019.3.917

Below is copy of function

public override bool TryGetCharCode(int unicode, out int charCode)
        {
            bool result = false;
            ushort glyphId;
            charCode = CMap.MISSING_GLYPH_ID;
            if (this.TryGetGlyphId(unicode, out glyphId))
            {
                ushort uCharCode = CMap.MISSING_GLYPH_ID;
                CMapTable table = this.CMap.GetCMapTable(3, 0);
                if (table != null)
                {
                    result = table.TryGetCharId(glyphId, out uCharCode);
                }

                table = this.CMap.GetCMapTable(1, 0);
                if (table != null)
                {
                    result = table.TryGetCharId(glyphId, out uCharCode);
                }

                charCode = uCharCode;

                return result;
            }

            return false;
        }

The font used has 2 cmap tables: one with platformid of 3 and encodingid of 1, the other with platformid 1 and encodingid 0. According to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/cmap platform id 3 and encoding 1 is correct for windows so not sure why the first call to getcmaptable looks for encodingid 0.

Second of all even if I change it to the following

CMapTable table = this.CMap.GetCMapTable(3, 1);

if there is a second cmap with platformid of 1 whatever the result of the call with regards to platformid 3, the result will be overridden

I can say that if I add some checks so that if the first call succeeds it doesn't attempt the 2nd I do get the expected behaviour in the pdf and get spaces

 

As a note the FontFamily property of the OpenTypeFontSource is "Arial"

According to the specification, the startfref keyword must be followed by the offset the xref table start on, defined on a new line. Some documents, however, have both entries defined on the same line, which leads to InvalidOperationException with message "Stack empty" while importing. Make sure this case is handled in PdfProcessing as well.

Release R2 2021

When a TrueType font is defined, the mapping of character codes to glyph indices depends on the built-in cmap table mappings defined in the font and the Encoding property defined in the PDF dictionary.

However, the current implementation maps all characters with cmap tables for Microsoft Symbolic and Macintosh Roman, which causes incorrect mapping results, e.g. space characters are mapped to an Ê glyph.

The issue is also described in the following public item: TryGetCharCode for OpenTypeFont uses wrong cmap and returns wrong charcode.

Workaround: Change the font  of the TextBoxField's widget appearance:
foreach (var widget in field.Widgets)
{
    widget.TextProperties.Font = FontsRepository.Helvetica;
}
